I've been with Dish for a while. I have two single tuner 311s. I just bought a 52" HDTV, and am investigating going to an HD receiver and HD package.
I don't qualify for an upgrade, so whats my best way to go about this without having to shell out a bunch of money up front?
My local retailer has the Vip211 for 299.99. That's a little more than I wanted to pay for just a vanilla HD receiver. I have looked on eBay, and there are quite a few 811 and 6000 receivers for sale at reasonable prices. There are also some DVR 921s for sale.
My question is, what do I need to be looking for right now? Receivers to avoid? How much should I expect to pay for a single tuner HD? How about a DVR?
You guys are always full of great info - send some my way, please!
